Combined with our love of junking, paired with the spirit of the road trip, we travel around the West Coast in our Airstream trailer. We scour flea markets, thrift stores, estate & yard sales to bring back lovelies to our vintage shop located in the quaint town of San Luis Obispo, California.

INSPIRATION...

LOVELY FOLLOWERS

Posted on: Tuesday, September 18, 2012

So the saying goes, "Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery."...it's as simple as that. We love Free People--the most current styles are of the 70's. We love feelings of love, freedom and peace.

We feel that we have that same inspiration here at The Rose. We who work here are mostly children of the 70's (some may have been teenagers of the 70's)--maybe this is why it feels so comfortable within the pages of their catalogs.

Our imitations, were a blast to re-create. Our photographer, Jenn Young, was in town for a few and we grabbed our models Kelsea, Hayden, Eva and our own Ruby to bring these looks to life.

"If you want to be free, be free, because there's a million things to be." -Cat Stevens

"We've got this gift of love, but love is like a precious plant. You can't just accept it and leave it in the cupboard of just think it's going to get on by itself. You've got to keep on watering it. You've got to really look after it and nurture it." - John Lennon

"Crazy, but that's how it goes. Millions of people living as foes. Maybe it's not too late. To learn how to love and forget how to hate!" - Ozzy Osbourne

"When the power of love overcomes the love of power, the world will know peace." -Jimi Hendrix

"Love is all you need." -The Beatles

"You can't always get what you want, but if you try sometimes, you might find, you'll get what you need." -The Rolling Stones

"Nobody living can ever stop me. As I go walking my freedom highway. Nobody living can make me turn back. This land was made for you and me". -Woody Guthrie

"Do you believe in magic? Believe in the magic of a young girl's soul? Believe in the magic of rock 'n roll? Believe in the magic that can set you free?" -The Lovin' Spoonful

"Imagine no possesions, I wonder if you can. No need for greed or hunger, a brotherhood of man. Imagine all the people, sharing all the world." -John Lennon

"Expose yourself to your deepest fear; after that, fear has no power, and the fear of freedom shrinks and vanishes. You are free." -Jim Morrison
